Had one of the best days on our trip thanks to Sal and Frank. They were Wonderful. Sal is just a joy. Stopped at Capri for a few hours so we could see the island. They had a homemade lunch on the boat while we were anchored in a beautiful setting. Sal's mom made one of the best cakes I have ever had. Just an absolutely wonderful experience . If you are looking for a leisurely day on the water this is the way to go . It's not "fancy" but you couldn't ask for a better day .
So much fun for our whole family!

We had an amazing time with our two fisherman guides. They were wonderful and really helped us make fishing seem easy! My 7 year old was able to catch a fish and it was the highlight of her trip. Capri is absolutely beautiful, the boat day was awesome. Our favorite experience from our time in the Amalfi Coast
